چکیده
PURPOSE To evaluate outcomes of lid margin split with cryotherapy to the anterior lid lamella for treating trichiasis. METHODS This prospective study included 20 eyelids of ten patients with trichiasis who were treated with lid margin split and cryotherapy. All patients were followed up for 6 months. RESULTS Eighteen eyelids (90%) were successfully treated, and two eyelids (10%) developed recurrence within the follow-up period. CONCLUSION Lid margin split with cryotherapy is an effective and safe method for treating trichiasis.

Various surgical techniques have been proposed for treating distichiasis in dogs. A technique involving eyelid splitting and double freeze-thaw cryotherapy with anterior lamellar recession was evaluated. A 3 year old, female, Staffordshire bull terrier was referred for bilateral distichiasis. There were bilateral multiple distichiasis of the upper lids, more severe on the right lid with double ...
متن کاملTreatment of trichiasis with a lid cryoprobe.
A series of 112 eyelids with symptomatic aberrant eyelashes were treated by cryotherapy using a specially designed large-surfaced high-flow nitrous oxide probe. Either thermocouple control to -20 degrees C or timing of the application to 20 seconds (lower lid) or 25 seconds (upper lid) was used to monitor the freeze. Both techniques obtained a high cure rate and a low incidence of complications.

Three surgeons operated on upper eye lids of northern Omani villagers for trichiasis due to trachoma using a standardised protocol. The lids were graded as minor trichiasis, five or fewer lashes; major trichiasis, six or more lashes; and lid closure defect. Operative success was defined as no lash/eyeball contact and complete gentle lid closure. One hundred and sixty five lids with major trichi...

PURPOSE to evaluate the position of the upper eyelid margin and eye surface status in cicatricial trachoma without trichiasis (TS). METHODS Slit-lamp biomicroscopy was employed to evaluate the location of the upper lid mucocutaneous transition of 156 eyes of 78 patients with trichiasis and of 130 eyes of 65 control subjects. For each eye the position of the upper lid mucocutaneous junction wa...
